[BUG] Default record_mode is 'none' instead of 'once' about pytest-recording HOT 4 CLOSED

Thank you for pointing this out!

I completely missed mentioning it in the docs - this behavior is intentional to avoid network calls by default. It was a major problem at kiwi.com when I was working there, and therefore we choose a more conservative approach here. I'll update the docs soon.

The docs are updated

@Stranger6667 For my personal case I wanted to have once by default, so I set the config:

@pytest.fixture(scope="module")
def vcr_config():
    return {
        "record_mode": "once",
   }

Unfortunately, when you do that, passing options to pytest doesn't overwrite it... e.g. pytest --record-mode=rewrite would still execute with once. Should I open another issue for that or is there another trick I don't know about?

@arthurio
Yes, please, open a separate issue for it
